NightShift

I am this nightmare
I?m inside of me.
I stay awake for I
Take away my sleep.
How have I become this way?
I don?t even know.
I?ve to get out of here.
How do I get out of me?
Nightshift comes to soothe the pain
Nothing comes to take it away
Nightshift?release the ghosts awhile
Nothing lingers to kill this pain
Please soothing night come
And bring me down to tears.
Lift me up from crawling
And destroy all my fears.
I have no enemies
So I turn against myself.
Overgrowing madness
Has turned my life to hell.
My soul is fucked up
And I?ve got no strength left
Please, release me
From my own grip.
Nightshift comes to soothe the pain
Nothing comes to take it away
Nightshift comes to soothe the pain
Nightshift comes to soothe?
With eyes wide open
I feel them closed.
Everything around is dreary and frightening
Just as a constant nightmare
From which I can?t awake for I am sleepless
I?m hopeless, faithless, loveless?
All taken away by this presence?
I try to get rid of its cloistering grip
But the ghost that haunts me is no one but me.
Nightshift comes to soothe the pain.
Nightshift comes to soothe the pain.
Nightshift comes to soothe the pain.
Nightshift comes to soothe?
